The new efficient drive system of the ID.3 Neo โ€“ combined with the largest of the three available batteries โ€“ additionally enables ranges of up to 630 km (WLTP (Range determined on the rolling road test bed in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) in the most range-favourable equipment variant. The actual WLTP range values may differ depending on the equipment. The actual range achieved under real conditions varies depending on the driving style, speed, use of comfort features or auxiliary equipment, outside temperature, number of passengers/load and topography.) ).

๐ŸŒก๏ธ Extreme heat reduces and reshapes urban mobility

"Our findings show mobility falls by as much as 10% on hot days generally and 20% on hot afternoons specifically, when temperatures peak. Further differences emerge on hot days. Older adults cut travel to work and other activities, while those earning less are less able to avoid work; social mixing declines and spatial structure changes as activity falls in city centers."

Amazon bulks up its LEO Direct-to-Device (D2D) services by acquiring GlobalStar - a Louisiana based mobile satellite services (MSS) operator.

Amazon is picking up Globalstarโ€™s existing satellite fleet, satellite operations, infrastructure and assets, including spectrum licenses with global authorizations with the goal to bolster its own direct-to-device satellite system, which it expects to start deploying in 2028.

Oh, ya, there is a little side deal with Apple too! https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/company-news/amazon-globalstar-apple #Amazon #GlobalStar #LEO #Apple #D2D #Direct2Device #Space #Satellite #Mobility #SatelliteServices
